...and the story? Aside from the fact that he brought it back.
Three commercial magazines that were diverted to Colt's military contract.
The vet on the right that brought back this rig.

OK guys, lets ID the aircraft in the last picture.
Shucks, I'll spill the beans.
It is a De Havilland Dragon Rapide.
Part of the vet's story.
An American that enlisted in RAF Ferry Command in Montreal before the U.S entered the war.
This photo was taken before an ammunition delivery to Egypt in advance of the Battle of El Alamein in Oct 1942
This is where they flew.
